| Obverse description | Bearded bust of King Kanishka I facing left, wearing a diadem and elaborate crown, depicted in the Kushan royal tradition with coarse but vigorous workmanship characteristic of early Kushan gold coinage. A Bactrian legend surrounds the royal effigy along the periphery of the flan. The king is shown with prominent facial features and dressed in royal attire, with flame-like or decorative elements visible at the shoulder. |
